Best way to upgrade sound from Essential Elvis FTD or Legacy

Fri Nov 16, 2012 9:11 pm

For example is the FTD Hits from the 70s a upgrade from the 70s box set. Just for improved sound would you go with the legacy Back in Memphis legacy or the FTD?

To clarify, From Elvis in Memphis was issued on the Sony Legacy label not Back in Memphis... and I would definitely go for Back in Memphis FTD as well as the Legacy edition of From Elvis in Memphis.

If it's something you're after, From Elvis in Memphis does have the mono versions of several tracks which I don't believe are available on any other official Sony CD.

Although this is true, the Legacy Edition does contain 'Back In Memphis' as mastered by Vic Anesini on disc 2 with the aforementioned mono masters of the singles from those sessions, so if you're on a budget that could be the way to go, however if you are interested in an extra disc and a half of out-takes etc then the FTD 'Back in Memphis' would be the essential release.
